Once they were done helping Alistair Hilton to safety, Loraine would go on more tours and by plane this time!
'It's too bad that the private planes are just stocked unused. I will put them to maximum use with all my traveling,' Lorraine already had plans in mind.
But for now, they have to bring Mr. Alistair to Le Country first.
With a private plane, they just need to disguise themselves tomorrow to avoid Mr. Alistair's enemy forces.
According to the information that Mr. Mo received, Mr. Alistair's pursuers were gradually expanding the search area.
Loraine was rather amazed at Mr. Alistair's opponent for being tenacious. They were still pushing through with their search.
Anyway, she wouldn't need to concern herself about Mr. Alistair-related issues after tomorrow.
Her problems with him would end once he was safely brought to his friend in Le Country.
***
While Loraine was making plans for tomorrow, Alistair, who was inside his room, was also preparing his own.
He had to recover as soon as possible. Thus, he needed to meet his friend first.
He decided to contact his friend.
Alistair: I will be in Le Country tomorrow; meet me at the airport.
Kent: Hey! I thought you had unknowingly died somewhere.
You are only contacting me now?
Hey! I won the bet.
I was the first person you called.
I'll show it to the others and reap the rewards.
Alistair: Do whatever you want. Just pick me up tomorrow.
Kent: Sure, just let me know the time. I'll get my rewards from the others first!
Alistair sighed. His friend still had the time to play around.
When Alistair was still in high school, he made some friends, one of whom was Kent.
Even though they had different personalities, they had a great relationship.
They were still in contact with each other, even though they each had their own careers now.
When they have time, they also get together occasionally.
Alistair was the busiest of them all, which was why the others were always betting on whom he would contact first.
And it happened to be Kent, since he needed a doctor to help him recover quickly.
Thus, Kent won the bet among their friends.
Anyway, Alistair would not lose anything, so he didn't care about them betting about it.
He had also considered contacting them on Mount Kang, but no one was nearby.
Even if he actually asked them, the delay would be too long. His injuries would worsen, and his pursuers could catch up.
Alistair and his men could have died before any of them arrived.
Thus, he decided to seek out the one staying on the right side. With his identity, he knew people would be hesitant to refuse him.
But if it had been an enemy, he could have worsened his situation.
His instincts told him, though, that he could seek help from the right side. He trusted his instinct and gambled on it.
It turned out for the best, though, since it was Miss Loraine, and she agreed to help him.
"Let our people gather in Le Country," he ordered his assistant, who had just entered the room.
"Yes, sir. I will contact them right away."
"What about the old man?" Alistair inquired about the cause of all this trouble. He even ended up relying on a lady because of that old man.
Alistair would have to charge that old man twice the fee Miss Loraine would ask for in the future.
"He is still sending more people to look for you, Sir."
The old man didn't know when to give up.
'Did he think I would just stay there and wait for death? '
Alistair prioritized his life and got rid of his pride. He asked the Antares' young lady for help just to survive and give a good kick to that old man.
"I see. Just be careful not to reveal our location."
"Yes, sir."
They needed to lay low for now.
Alistair would act once he had recovered. He needed to ensure his wounds and injuries would get better first.
It would be too embarrassing to further rely on Miss Loraine and her guards, so they need to meet up with Kent first and foremost.
It wouldn't be good to let the old man know who helped him.
"How about tomorrow's plans? Is everything ready?"
Alistair knew that the old man couldn't do anything to Miss Loraine, but it would still cause some trouble.
He needed to leave Miss Loraine's care as soon as possible so she wouldn't be dragged into this.
"Yes, Sir. Miss Loraine's people had already arranged everything, and they just informed me about it before I entered the room," Gram reported.
Miss Loraine's people were adept. They worked so quickly. It also showed how decisive Miss Loraine was.
Even when they were on Mt. Kang, she did not panic. She was calm and collected despite the situation she was dragged into, and she gave reasonable and clear-cut orders instead.
It was quite admirable.
No wonder Rand Antares hid his daughter.
If he let his daughter out, there would be many who would try to pluck her for themselves for all sorts of reasons.
With Rand Antares as her guardian, they could only think about it; they couldn't even show themselves in front of her.
It would be useful to have someone like her by his side.
'No, what am I thinking about?
She's my savior.
I shouldn't be so shameless.
I haven't even repaid her yet.
Besides, her father won't allow her only daughter to be outside of his protective circle,' Alistair thought.
"Sir, it appears that your disappearance was already known to some people.
Do we need to do something about it? "Gram's voice dragged Alistair back to reality.
"No need; the old man would be in even more trouble if the news leaked out. He'll take care of it soon."
The old man would certainly do something about it. Until the old man wasn't sure he died, he wouldn't tear his face with other people.
"You can go out and rest. We need to be early tomorrow."
"Yes, Sir. Have a good rest," Mr. Gram said before leaving.
Alistair closed his eyes. He needed to rest as well, since he still had to recover. Tomorrow, he will be in Le Country.
